Dreamfarm Garject Lite 2-In-1 Garlic Peeler, Garlic Press & Mincer with Garlic Peel Ejector, Nylon - Red

This device does it all! You don’t even have to peel the garlic cloves first. This is a quality made product and does exactly what it claims. It is much easier to squeeze the handles to smash the cloves, and then it scrapes the garlic off, flicks the peels away and self-cleans the holes. I think I’ll get some to use for Christmas gifts.

I bought this garlic press because my spouse hated cleaning our cheap old Ikea one and it was on a bunch of lists as being highly rated. We have generally been super pleased with the Dreamfarm garlic press. It is sturdy and well-designed. The chamber for the garlic is large enough to hold one large clove or several medium ones, and it gets a maximum amount of mince out with little effort. The self-cleaning mechanism works just as advertised, so you don't get garlic goo all over your fingers, and there is little debris left to scrub out. The scraper means you don't have to get your knife dirty getting the last bits into your pan. It's also top shelf dishwasher safe! My only complaint is that some of the components are plastic. It's durable plastic, but the places where it joins to the metal do create vulnerable spots, so be careful to wash the press promptly and be gentle loading it into the dishwasher. Recently a plastic component on ours broke, which was disappointing because we love this thing. I contacted Dreamfarm through their Amazon shop and it turns out they have a three year warranty. After sending pictures and an email inquiry, I received a reply back from their customer service rep requesting my Amazon order info and offering to send a replacement. I received the shipping info for the replacement within 48 hours of contacting them about the issue. This attention to customer needs is truly refreshing in an era where customer service is so often outsourced to contractors and AI. Based on this experience and the product, I would happily purchase other kitchen gadgets from this company, and I would recommend that my friends do the same.

This press has some new design features that put it above the others I’ve used in several ways. It has a couple of oddities as well. Garlic cloves can be easily pressed with or without their skins. I tend to remove the skins first to get the most garlic through the presser plate. Garlic cloves are evenly pressed and not liquified so this device gives excellent results. And you can press a lot of garlic without your hand getting tired or sore.PRO’s:1- large opening easily holds larger or multiple smaller cloves2- handles are long enough to be able to apply adequate leverage when pressing3- reversing the handles enables a plastic component with knobs to press garlic back through the presser plate holes for cleaning. In my opinion, this is a big deal and makes cleaning much easier that without this.4- handles, presser plate, presser are all sturdy metal construction.5- dishwasher safe without corroding or other film, unlike aluminum presses. Big deal for me.6- includes a spring-loaded scraper to push pressed garlic off the presser plate. Actually works well.ODDITIES:1- the peel eject lever is about ⅓ the width it needs to be for usefulness. Could have left this off, and it isn’t needed.2- the scraper, knobby cleaning plate, and eject lever are all plastic and therefore the weak links. In a few months of use they are still fine, and I hope they last.3- the spring for the scraper is likely a weak point as well. Without the spring to hold the scraper against the presser plate, this feature would become useless. That said, so far so good, fingers crossed.

Outstanding product!

Peel ejector doesn't work but it presses great! The ejector only pulls through the tiniest section in the middle, so I stil have to get a knife and pry out the mess inside. Not really what I expected for the money.... but it's very sturdy and my last one broke, so I'll keep it.

My husband is the cook in our house and Santa got this for him. It's been 4 months now, and he uses a LOT of garlic in his cooking. He said I should give this 5 stars for how well it works and how easy it is to clean.
